So I'm having a problem I don't exactly know how to fix. I need to open some ports on my router for a game I play. I tried to do port forwarding but there are multiple devices on my network and whenever the router gets reboot my computer gets a different IP address and the port forwarding doesn't work anymore. Then I tried port triggering but it doesn't seem to work the same or maybe I'm just not doing it right I don't know. Then someone else told me to make the computer I'm using to play the game a static IP. Which I did and successfully setup the port forwarding and everything seemed to work perfect until...another computer on my network was experiencing problems. They were playing a Facebook multiplayer game when a message said they were loosing connection. I tried everything on their computer. Running scans, updating network card driver, windows updating, clear browser history cookies temporary internet files, ran disk cleanup etc etc. still having problems. I removed my static IP and reboot the router and bam his computer was fixed but now I can't do my port forwarding. Now what?
